you won't vaccinate them, vaccines come in batches of at least 500 usually 1000 at a time, they need giving from day old onwards, and some such as Mareks need giving within 1 hour of opening. Vaccines are for large breeders.
Might I suggest you get a good book about rearing chickens before you embark on this venture such as this:-

Also are you prepared for the resulting cockerels? Can you cope with euthanizing any hatched with deformities? Please thoroughly read up and get everything in place such as brooder etc before you even think of buying the eggs.

There are many books recommended on this site and there is no point in startin with other peoples opinions. Read the books then ask questions related if you have queries.

Research is a good tool and there is a lot of information on this site

Good luck
